Depo-Provera is a prescription and the injection is obtained from your healthcare provider every 11 to 13 weeks. The healthcare provider will inject the synthetic hormone in the upper arm or in the buttocks. The initial injection is given within the first five days of your menstrual bleeding.
A reason your knees may be getting sore from deadlifts is because your form is not quite right. If your knees drift too far forward when deadlifting, this turns the exercise into more of a knee-dominant one, notes strength coach Mike Robertson.
When it's done right, the deadlift is an excellent back exercise. As you pick up and put down the weight, your upper-back musclesâincluding your rhomboids, traps, erector spinae, rear deltoids, and latsâmust fire on all cylinders to keep your torso straight and your lower back from rounding. It's when you fail to engage these muscles that injuries can occur.
